Read the quote by Jane Addams.“The Settlement then, is an experimental effort to aid in the solution of the social and industrial problems . . . in a great city.”Which of the following best describes what Addams meant by “the Settlement”?

Addams was describing a settlement house: a community center where people worked to address problems such as poverty and difficult industrial conditions in cities. Hull House, which Addams founded in Chicago, was a famous example of a settlement. So “the Settlement” refers to Hull House, not the city itself or immigration.
